Furniture FAQs

How do I organise a collection and/or a delivery?

You must provide a contact address and telephone number at the time of purchase.
All items must be collected within 7 days or delivery must be arranged within this time.
Any items not collected/delivered after this time will be returned to sale and you will be issued with a credit note.
If you are unable to take delivery of your furniture within 7 days of purchase, then at the manager’s discretion, we may permit you to store your items in our warehouse (a cost would be incurred).
We will ring the telephone number provided on the day of delivery to confirm delivery. If there is no answer the delivery will have to be rearranged at the next possible date.

After I’ve purchased furniture from you, will you be able to construct it?

Any items that need to be dismantled for delivery will be delivered flat packed and will not be reassembled.

What if I change my mind or the item of furniture doesn’t fit?

If you have changed your mind about an item you have purchased or if the item doesn’t fit, you will be issued with a credit note, please be aware we do not offer refunds.
It is the customer’s responsibility to measure the items to make sure they will fit.
Delivery charges will not be refunded to your credit note.
